When I started this journey of mine toward a healthy lifestyle I weighed over 200lbs. I was depressed and miserable. One day I was cleaning and pulled out a picture of myself that a friend had taken of me in a two-piece bathing suit. It brought tears to my eyes. I didn't recognize that fat, unhappy 29 year-old woman in the picture. Soon after I joined the YMCA, cleaned all the junk out of my kitchen and never looked back. 3 years later and nearly 50 pounds lighter, I am happy and energetic. I'm obsessed with working out. My diet is right on. I've transitioned to eating clean after reading Tosca Reno's "The Eat Clean Diet." I still slip up and eat junk every now and then but always manage to get myself back on track. Having a healthy lifestyle isn't always easy but it sure does feel good.
